A regard for journey has lead me to be a curator of moments. A love of words has made me into an artist of phrase. An affinity for architecture and interior design has formed me into a student of home and a creator of places that feed the soul. Whether your home is 6000 square feet, or 665; whether you live in the city or the country; whether you are single, have a family, or are an empty nester, you’ll find solutions here that will inform, enlighten, and connect you to the experience of home and living well.

My Philosophy On Life, Design, and Living Well

I don't believe you have to have the latest and greatest to live a meaningful life. I don't believe you have to follow trends to feel comfortable in your home. I don't believe there is a one-size prescription for contentment, or a materials-based formula for happiness. I don't believe that quantity wins.

I do believe, however, that on some level, we are all consumers, and in that, we have the opportunity to make choices that will both directly and indirectly affect our quality of life. We can choose the beautiful, the long-lasting, the quality-made. We can train our eye to appreciate craftsmanship and goodness when we see it. We can choose to place our hard-earned dollars into hands where it will support men and women who are working to make the world a better place.

This, is living well.

It's experiencing the profound in the simple, the exquisite in the mundane. If you prefer the idea of living with fewer, better things, this is the place for you. If you appreciate intentional living, this is the place for you. If you are a lover of design that speaks to the soul, this is the place for you.
